Pride Rock is a giant rocky edifice, with various nooks and crannies for lions and other creatures to live in. It features a platform jutting out in front, most often used by the king to address his people.

Pride Rock is home to the lions of the Pride Lands. The king lives here and watches over his subjects from the great vantage point on the tip of the outcropping. When Simba went into exile believing he had killed his father, Mufasa, his uncle Scar took over Pride Rock and the rest of the Pride Lands. This resulted in almost all the denziens of the Pride Lands leaving and the once vibrant and lively savannah surrounding Pride Rock to die out. It was eventually revived when Simba returned and reclaimed his rightful place as king.
